Raspberry Pi OS (2021) Automatically reconnect to wifi when connection drops

I've been having a few wifi drops and then the pi doesn't reconnect until I reboot it manually. This script solves that.

First, add a new sudo cron

sudo crontab -e

Then adapt and paste the following, change the IP to that of your router or something you expect to be always up

	/*
	Coda.io Minimalist / Focus Mode
	Use the Stylus (https://add0n.com/stylus.html) addon to run it.

	Really there should be a hotkey to toggle it.
